While President Biden swept Democratic primaries on Super Tuesday, he faced an unusual contender: the "uncommitted" vote.
Why it matters: The movement came after over 100,000 Michigan Democratic primary voters in February cast ballots for "uncommitted" in protest of the Biden administration's support for Israel's government in its war with Hamas.
